Using texture in web design is risky. When it goes bad, it can go really bad. But when it goes well… well, it can blow your socks off. In this post you will find some very subtle textures to enhance your designs alongside some bolder choices to be used by those with a more discerning eye (if you can pull it off!). Also, I don’t discriminate against certain types of textures here – we have all types from glass, metal, brick, grunge, and super grunge to some really unique vintage wallpaper and damask stuff. All of these are free to use, but please read the specific usage rights on each website. Enjoy, and happy designing to you and yours.

Got others?

Well, don’t keep them to yourself, share them with us! Leave us a comment with some of your favorite textures. Also feel free to tweet us (@webdesignfan) with more – if we like them, we’ll retweet you. Thanks for reading.
